The Cricket on the Hearth. Sverchok na Pechi.Â
<p><strong>Finely illustrated edition of '<em>The Cricket on the Hearth</em>' 1845 in Russian. </strong>One of 4 000 copies published.</p><p>Cover vignettes and five full-page woodcuts were created by graphic artist <strong>Aleksey Kravchenko</strong> 1889–1940 renowned as a master of woodcut. He studied at Simon Hollosy's art school in Munich and at the Moscow School of Painting Sculpture and Architecture under Konstantin Korovin and Valentin Serov.<br />Russian artists first illustrated Dickens' works at the end of the 19th century. In the 1920s a new generation of Russian graphic artists known for their avant-garde approach revisited Dickens and prepared illustrated editions of '<em>Great Expectations</em>' Mitrokhin and Budogoskii 1929 and 1935 '<em>Hard Times</em>' Favorsky 1933 and '<em>The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club</em>' Milashevskii 1933. Aleksey Kravchenko was among the pioneers of this movement.<br />The translator's name is not specified in the book; however the translation by Maria Shishmareva 1852–1939 is published here from the 7th volume of '<em>The Works of Charles Dickens</em>' 1894.</p><p>We couldn't trace any copy via OCLC.</p><p><em><strong>Please be advised that certain books in our collection may require an export permit for international shipping.

DICKENS, Charles AYLMER, Felix (contributes).
The Dickensian.
Cecil Palmer London. October 1924. First edition. Edited by B.W. Matz. Octavo. pp 4 adverts 171-224 4 adverts. Frontispiece and illustrations. Wrappers. Includes a four-page piece by Felix Aylmer ''The Drood Case Re-opened''.Loosely inserted is an Autograph Letter Signed by Felix Aylmer and dated 7.10.24: about 220 words to the poet and playwright John Drinkwater apologising for tardiness in ''the Drood business'' and seemingly considering the provision of an ending for theatrical purposes to Dickens' unfinished novel. He writes ''I was warned by one of the Dickens fans that professional Dickensians do not take kindly to a half-baked theory. The obvious reflection is that one would not expect a priori that a half-finished mystery story would contain all the clues necessary for its complete solution.''. It wasn't until 1964 that Aylmer published his theory in the book The Drood Case. He appeared in a number of Drinkwater's plays in the early part of his very long career as an actor.Fine. Cecil Palmer, London. October, unknown

DICKENS, Charles
The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain.
New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers 1849. The bibliographer's copy First US edition. This was the copy of the bibliographer Walter Smith with his pencilled ownership signature on the title page and is the copy photographed and described in his bibliography of Dickens. The Haunted Man was the fifth and final Christmas book by Dickens and was first published in Britain on 19 December 1848. This US edition was published on 6 January 1849 closer to the British publication than other US editions of the Christmas books - Harper paid Dickens £5 for advance sheets. For the other Christmas Books several American publishers competed to be first but for this title since Harper had a headstart no other publishers attempted to compete. "The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain is concerned with the power of memory with family life which is destroyed and replaced only by the wretched anxieties of a distinguished but solitary man. It has been said that in this autobiographical fragment Dickens is only suppressing his feelings of hurt and jealous rage but it seems more likely that he was actively involved after Fanny's death in the process of transcending them" Ackroyd p. 553. Octavo. Original brown wrappers. Housed in custom brown leather chemise and box. Recent bookplate of collector Peter Russell mounted to inside cover of box. Very minor chipping at wrapper extremities lightly stained throughout still a very good copy of this fragile publication. Gimbel A120; Smith Charles Dickens: A Bibliography of His First American Editions: The Christmas Books pp. 104-7. Peter Ackroyd Dickens 1990. hardcover

Dickens, Charles
THE HAUNTED MAN and THE GHOST'S BARGAIN
1849. A Fancy for Christmas-Time. New York: Harper & Brothers n.d. 1849. 2 pp undated ads. Original brown printed wrappers.<br/> <br/> First American Edition of Dickens's fifth and last Christmas book; there had been no late-1847 Christmas book as Dickens had then been busy with DOMBEY AND SON. Though undated this Harper edition in wrappers came out on January 6 1849; this is earlier in January than was the case for their four previous Christmas books and for good reason: in December Harper had paid Dickens five pounds for advance sheets -- the first amount an American publisher paid Dickens for a Christmas book. With the earlier four books several American publishers leapt at the chance to be first; however for this one since Harper had a head-start no other American publisher bothered to make the effort. In this copy the inside and outside wrapper ads are the primary ones cited by Smith; the terminal ad leaf pp 35-36 has "Valuable Geographic Works" Smith's state "c" on the recto and "Harper's Family Library" Smith's state "f" on the verso. Smith notes that "it is not possible to prioritize the states of the ad leaf accurately." This copy is in near-fine condition with the front wrapper unusually clean and the delicate spine quite intact. There are a few marks on the rear wrapper the usual foxing on the leaves within plus some wear at the fore- and lower edge of the wrapper -- a common problem for this booklet as the wrapper extends past the textual leaves. There is also a little marginal damage to some leaves due to improper opening. We do not see this book in much better condition. Smith pp 104-107; Podeschi Yale A120; Carr UTexas B4261. unknown
